Serving Marin County & Beyond
That Meeting Was a Lot. Here's What to Do Next.
However it landed, imagine leaving that report behind and walking into your week knowing what's going on in your child's brain, the "ADHD" — and roadmaps for connecting with them, supporting them, and show up differently in the moments that matter, that used to go sideways.
You send the report ahead. Dan comes prepared. One hour later, you have a direction.
THE SESSION
The psycho-educational testing or neuropsych assessment tells you what. This session tells you what to do about it — starting now.
Dan reviews your evaluation before you meet, so the hour is spent on understanding and action — not catching up.
The PAUSE People System brings the clinical findings to life — turning abstract results into a real understanding of how your child learns and thinks, how your own patterns show up in the moments that matter most, and where you have more power than you think to shape the routines, spaces, and everyday interactions that grow self-regulation. Especially when there's ADHD in the house.
Because kids don't learn self-regulation from instructions or summer courses. They learn it by watching you. Your nervous system becomes their guide.
More steadiness in you. Your kids feel it immediately.
This is the hour that turns a diagnosis into a direction.
WHAT YOU WALK AWAY WITH
What the diagnosis actually means — for your child, your interactions, and your home
A deeper understanding of your child's unique learning profile
Where ADHD shows up in daily life, what it means for how you interact with them, and how to structure the moments that tend to go sideways — the morning, the homework, the emotional piece. The testing tells you what's going on. This session shows you what to do about it.
4-6 concrete actions you can take this week Not a long list. Not a referral to three more specialists. Specific, doable steps that put you in motion, immediately.
An introduction to the PAUSE People System The lens that makes everything else in this session useful. The PAUSE People System gives you a framework for understanding ADHD, your own patterns — how you show up in the hard moments, what your child's nervous system is responding to, and how small shifts in you create real change at home. This session is where it starts.
Insights into options What kinds of support actually move the needle for this profile. What the school is likely to offer and what it isn't. What to pursue first and what can wait.
A Sense of What Comes Next One clear session might be all you need. Or you may be ready for a bigger container. Either way, you'll leave better equipped to support your child, your family, and yourself — with more clarity, more confidence, and a real sense of direction..
WHO IS THIS FOR?
This session is right for you if:
-
You feel like you're supposed to know what to do next — and you don't — and you're ready to change that.
-
Your child was recently evaluated and you're still trying to make sense of the results.
-
You've suspected something for a while and just got the confirmation — now you want to know what to do with it.
-
You have documents and reports sitting somewhere you haven't fully processed.
ABOUT DAN
Dan Leibowitz, M.Ed., M.S.Sped., C.E.T. is a credentialed teacher, certified educational therapist, and co-creator of the PAUSE People System, with 30 years of experience supporting students with ADHD, learning differences, and executive function challenges — and the parents raising them.
He has worked with hundreds of families in Marin County and beyond at exactly this moment: the one right after the evaluation, when everything feels important and nothing feels clear.
He's also a parent of two teens. He knows what this feels like from the inside — and he knows that the most impactful thing parents can do isn't find the next specialist. It's understand ADHD for what it actually is, examine their own patterns of reactivity, and learn to show up in the ways their child's nervous system is asking for. That's the mission behind the PAUSE People System. And it's what this session is designed to start.
FAQ
How is this different from the free discovery call? The discovery call is 20 minutes to understand your situation and figure out if we're a fit. The Now What? Session is a full working hour built around your specific report and your specific child. You leave with real answers, not just a sense of direction.
Does my child need to be present? No. This session is designed for parents. The default is parent-only so you can speak freely.
What if the diagnosis isn't brand new? Still exactly right. A lot of families get the report and spend months not knowing what to do with it. "New" doesn't have a deadline.
What if we already have some supports in place? Useful either way. This session can audit what you have and clarify what's missing or what to do next.
Will you tell us which school services to pursue? Dan can speak to what schools typically offer for a given profile and help you understand what to ask for — but this isn't legal advocacy. What he can do is help you walk into that next school meeting more informed, more confident, and with sharper questions.
What happens after the session? You'll receive a brief written summary of key points and recommended next steps within 48 hours.
